Key Featrues

High Peak Pulse Current (17.3A) - This feature allows the TVS diode to handle high transient currents, making it suitable for protecting sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes. Its impact is significant in applications where sudden surges are common, ensuring reliable performance and longevity of the circuit.
Low Clamping Voltage (87.1V @ Ipp) - The low clamping voltage ensures that the protected circuit is exposed to minimal stress during transient events. This enhances the overall efficiency and reliability of the system by limiting the voltage to a safe level, thus preventing damage to downstream components.
Wide Operating Temperature Range (-55°C to 175°C) - This feature makes the diode versatile and reliable in extreme environmental conditions. It ensures consistent performance in both industrial and automotive applications, where temperature fluctuations are common, thereby expanding its use cases.
Surface Mount Package (DO-214AB, SMC) - The surface mount design facilitates easy integration into modern PCB layouts, reducing assembly time and costs. This feature is particularly beneficial in high-density electronic designs, where space and efficiency are critical.
High Power Handling (1500W Peak Pulse Power) - The ability to handle high power transients makes this diode suitable for robust protection in high-power applications. This feature is crucial in safeguarding circuits in industrial equipment, telecommunications, and power supplies, where large energy spikes can occur.
